Ch-ch-ch-changes

 Niko leaving for LAX.  Much harder than expected. The Chief of Police for the City of Greenfield retires.  Kind of an emotional ceremony.  I really miss my job.  Bailey getting some loving from Bunnie the day we dropped Niko off at the airport.  And finally, Bob and I enjoying a nice dinner downtown watching our favorite local band Element 13 and of course the lead singer happens to be my favorite physical therapist that I have known for over 2 years.

Sorry ! Such a lapse in time....

   Where to begin?  So much happened between May and July, shame on me.  Here is the obvious new thing...on June 20th I had my right knee replaced.  A needed surgery that has become a very painful recovery. Two weeks prior to the surgery Niko and I travelled to Cali to find him a future home.  He now resides in North Hollywood and has a job at Target. He has been gone for 6 days and it feels like at least 2 weeks.
